Pumpkin Bars #FilltheCookieJar

Pumpkin Bars Plated

Pumpkin Bars are easy, fast and very appropriate for this month’s Fill the Cookie Jar . Each month we make cookies with a theme then post it on the first  Thursday of the month.  If you love cookies and would like to join us, click on the button below.

We had a choice of Halloween Cookies or something pumpkin. I decided to join in the fun a little late to decorate spooky cookies. so pumpkin it is! These bars taste like warm, spicy pumpkin pie bites! They are just as good cold.
Many thanks to our fabulous hostess with the cookie mostess, Cynthia from FeedingBig.com !
